It is a fungal infection, which may well be the case if you pinch the tail and all could be. Fungal infections are presented as a secondary infection to an injury and shows that food is moldy. Increase the temperature about 80-82 ° C, and a little salt (which by the way these fish salty, with green spots at the end, that only a comprehensive range of marine and brackish Figure-8-foot range) are not consistent through us.
Or, more likely, then a bacterial infection called columnaris. This requires an antibiotic treatment of Gram-negative infections, such Maracyn Two. Here is a link with some pictures, as does the white cotton from different, after a yeast infection:

And what is important, because with columnaris not interested in raising the temperature below about 76 ° F.
That investigations on how well you keep your aquarium, too, usually columnaris shows in dirty tanks / water exchange is not enough.Or it could be if you just bought, they were already sick, or the container may be too small. As I said earlier, are in good conditions with the water line, and the GSP should be separated because it unpleasant to each other as they tend to grow, are each 1, at least a 20 gallon tank to have him. A figure 8, one gallons 15 should be good. Good luck!
Sounds like mushrooms.
Go to Wal-Mart or PetSmart and excrete mushrooms or something. Im sure that you will find somthing.
Sounds like a fungus. Jungle Laboratories makes MEDS big mushroom. Follow the directions on the package, but beware! Membranes have no scales, so they are more vulnerable to drugs.
I also hope that you are not a home together, these membranes. 2 The APS must be at least 60 gallons (not compatible with others). World Figure 8 must be at least 15 gallons to himself. Blowers are known to be very aggressive, and there are few fish that can be tank mates.
